I was just informed that about 15-20% of my colleagues handed in their resignations. Reasons are chiefly that the bosses don't know how to communicate and put money above worker satisfaction. Most of us work WFH and are pretty independent. We had the CEO micromanaging workers and demanding explanations on how they booked their hours. Missmanagement caused us to lose a significant part of our bonuses last year. Training by the company is minimal although it is very important in my line of work. We already had a big exodus last year and lost about 40% of the people, but managed to hire many new guys. Now they finally drove out many of my favorite colleagues.

He's 70 but can't afford to retire, earns more than the average Israeli, but still has to count every dime he spends and has to cut lots of expenses each month because things get more expensive.

After 8 hours of psychological terror, my father stays in the room for one or two more hours to do paperwork, which he doesn't get paid for, and goes back home, exhausted, affraid and miserable.
